This is Shortbread. A simple, smooth looking 16x texture pack for those who like the simple look of Minecraft, but want something a bit different. I've changed most blocks, along with several mobs. The UI is also completely revamped. Items and armour are being worked on.
If you have any concerns about the texture pack, or find any missing textures, etc., please let me know. I welcome any constructive criticism or feedback.
I have mixed feelings. The stone is good (though it has a small tiling error) and the ores are very nice. I like your grass and dirt as well. Though, there's other stuff (cobble, stone bricks) that just looks like lightly edited default, and that I don't like. I know you can do better than a default edit, and I'd like to see more of you.
Yes the transition from dirt to stone is like a highway between a desert (it stands out). Wonder if CTM allows for a texture that transitions smoothly... time to research.

Everything is made from scratch, no default edits.
It's not bad, but I feel you need to work on contrast, for instance dirt and stone are fairly flat, despite their detail.
I kinda see where you're getting but it's supposed to be like that. It's purposely smooth and less pixelated. But I'll mess around with the contrast and see where it gets me. Thanks for your input!

Yeah but it stands out on the default pack too. Not much you can do about that I suppose, with a world made up of blocks, haha.

Here's an example for reference:
As you can see the cobble is completely different (more smooth looking and less pixely).
The brick, though similar, was made from scratch. It's made to be smoother and textured slightly more "fancy".
I do see where you're coming from, but bear in mind I wanted to keep the original "feel" of minecraft with this pack.
Oh and the stone, I'll see what I can do about that. I tried my best to get rid of that tiling error (it was worse before!), but I'll look at it again.
Anyways thanks for your input, I do appreciate it!

My apologies, I must not have looked hard enough. When I actually stop to look at it, it's very distinguishable from default.
Though, I agree with Seradicus. The contrast on the stone and dirt is too low, it's difficult to see any detail.

I do kinda agree about the contrast... Just trying to get it where it's smooth but not bland.
